Cadbury to release new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar
Now Cadbury has revealed a new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar, which is set for release in stores across the UK "soon".
The new chocolate is the Cadbury Twirl bar everyone knows and loves, but with a "delicious" twist - it's dipped in white chocolate.
A post shared by Cadbury UK (@cadburyuk)
Twirl Brand Manager at Mondelez International, Katya Savelieva, said: "Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it's no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking.
"With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won't want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before!"
Cadbury fans won't have long to wait for the release of the new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar (RRP: 99p).
Cadbury has revealed the new chocolate will be available to buy in the UK from June 2, 2025.
But once they hit shelves, you'll have to be quick, as they will only be available for a limited time.
Shoppers have already taken to social media to share their excitement about the new Cadbury Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar.
One person, commenting on Cadbury's Instagram post about the new chocolate, said: "Oh yes cannot wait for this."
Another added: "Wow wow wow!"
A third person commented: "Can't wait to try it. Looks yummy."
While a fourth shopper compared the new Twirl to Cadbury's discontinued Flake Snow chocolate bar.
They posted: "Omg this reminds of the Snowflake @cadburyuk launched like 24/25 years ago!!"
RECOMMENDED READING:
Cadbury's Flake Snow chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2000.
The bar had a white chocolate flake center, covered in milk chocolate.
But it only lasted eight years in the UK, with Cadbury revealing in 2008 the chocolate bar had been discontinued.

Daughter of Freddo creator says he'd be 'disgusted' by price
Leonie Wadin, 74, claimed that since the death of her father, Harry Melbourne, she has not bought one. It was first sold in the UK in 1973 before being taken off the shelves the following year. In 1994, when the chocolate bar went back on sale, it cost 10p, and it has gained a reputation for being a barometer for inflation in the UK. This country is finished. — No Context Brits (@NoContextBrits) February 8, 2025 According to Sky News, it remained at the 10p price until 2007, before it started increasing. Nowadays, it is sold for around 30-35p per bar, with some rare exceptions being sold for £1 in certain shops. Explaining her frustration with the price, Leonie, spoke to Sky News' Money team and said: "Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it. "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. "Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo." If the price of a Freddo had increased in line with inflation, today a bar would go for about 21p, not 30p or 35p, according to the Bank of England's inflation calculator. The history of the Freddo bar The chocolate bar was created by Harry Melbourne, who migrated to Australia from the UK at a young age. He was only 14 when he cooked up the bar at the confectionery company MacPherson Robertson in 1930. Leonie explained: "He said children are scared of mice, so why not a frog? Because kids go down to the lake and catch tadpoles." By the time Harry was 15, Freddo - named after his "best mate" Fred - was on the shelves in Australia, selling for a penny, Sky News adds. Cadbury then bought the company in 1967, which saw the Freddo releases internationally in some countries. Melbourne died at the age of 94 in 2007 and his legacy lives on. Leonie has five children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and they're all proud of Harry's story. She shared: "They're very proud of their great-granddad, they still buy them [Freddos], they love them." And that's the legacy she wants her family to cherish after her. "Carry on through every heritage, that's what I want," she said. "The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. "It will always be there… I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives." Recommended reading: In a statement to Sky News about the price of the Freddo, Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, said: "Freddo has endured popularity across generations since originally launching in the UK back in 1973, and continues to be a key part of Cadbury's range today. "Whilst it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. "We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible, however, on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."

People are realising the reason Mr Whippy ice creams with flakes are called 99s & it's nothing to do with price
Plus, top ten ice cream flavours, according to Brits FOR GOODNESS FLAKE People are realising the reason Mr Whippy ice creams with flakes are called 99s & it's nothing to do with price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MUCH of the UK is currently enjoying glorious weather - which also means cooling down with an ice cream. Many sun-loving Brits will be racing to the nearest Mr Whippy van to get their hands on a frozen treat, whether that's Twister, Fab or rocket ice lollies. 2 Many Brits will be dashing to their local ice cream van to bag a treat to cool down Credit: Getty 2 But do you know where the name for the iconic 99 flake comes from? Credit: Alamy However, there's one ice cream more legendary than any other - the classic 99 flake. Inflation means you can no longer pick up a Flake 99 for a mere 99p - leading many sweet fans to wonder where the name actually comes from. Given that 99 cones used to be priced under a quid, many tend to assume that's how they acquired their iconic name. However, contrary to popular opinion, the moniker derives from the flake rather than the ice cream itself. READ MORE ON FOOD TUCK IN I'm an Uber Eats driver, here are the secrets I'm not supposed to tell you Only cones featuring the chocolate are termed as 99s. Reportedly, Cadbury - the brand behind the flakes - opted to choose the numeric name to attract Italian customers. The sweet manufacturer disclosed that they initiated this practice back in 1930. A spokesperson on the Cadbury website explained: "An ice cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream. "In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King had an elite guard consisting of 99 soldiers. ''Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as '99'. UK Basks in Glorious Sunshine: Thousands Flock to Beaches as Heatwave Hits "When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by expat Italians. ''So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." An even more arcane fact is that the number 99 is IC in Roman numerals - the initials of "ice cream". Top 10 ice cream flavours, according to Brits Vanilla Chocolate Mint chocolate chip Strawberry Salted caramel Raspberry ripple Rum and raisin Pistachio Cookies and cream Honeycomb Millions of Brits are set to bask in glorious sunshine this week, with temperatures soaring to 33C in some parts of the country. Yellow heat health alerts, issued by the UK Health Security Agency, are in place for most of England – excluding the north-east and north-west – from Monday to Wednesday. The Met Office said: "A combination of high pressure and a southerly airflow will see temperatures rise for much of England and Wales in the first half of the week. "Temperatures reaching in excess of 30°C for some on Monday and likely peaking towards the mid-30s in London on Tuesday. In London, temperatures are forecast to reach 29C on Monday, rise to 32C on Tuesday and hit 28C on Wednesday. Highs of 32C are expected on Wednesday while temperatures could reach 31C on Monday. The Met Office says the official heatwave criteria will be met across many areas, with three consecutive days of temperatures above thresholds that range between 25C and 28C depending on location. The warm spell marks a sharp turnaround from earlier in the week when Storm Floris brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the UK. Forecasters say hot air will be drawn up from the south due to the interaction between high pressure drifting across southern Britain and an area of low pressure. England and Wales will enjoy the best of the sunshine, although a few scattered thunderstorms are possible. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland and Scotland can expect outbreaks of rain at times, especially on Monday.
